Limits

To ensure a positive experience for all, the Workiva 2022-01-01 (default) API enforces a number of constraints.

Attention

Legacy spreadsheets endpoints enforce slightly different limits than other endpoints in this API. Here are the details.

Rate Limits

The Workiva 2022-01-01 (default) API may rate limit clients based on the current system load or an excessive request frequency. In these cases, you will receive an error response with status code 429 Too Many Requests. To help mitigate this, we recommend respecting any Retry-After response headers when provided.

Payload Size

The Workiva 2022-01-01 (default) API currently limits the size of any request payloads to a maximum of 10485760 bytes (10MB).

Timeouts

The Workiva 2022-01-01 (default) API currently limits the length of any request to 29 seconds.
